That you are out.
lolo well as I've been ... maybe more than 3 2 years in Cups of +3 levels or 4-5... I usually leave this competition to focus in CL and League so I can manage it better... the only time I went for Cup 2 consecutive seasons in a case like this I arrived to Semifinals facing 8*-9* teams in many rounds. As I train phisicall/mental of many players to 9-10* I had chances, but thats all.
I still suggesting and defending that a Cup of same level would be more attractive and would increase the activity and fight between teams to win it.
Actually with this system the Cup give market advantadge to low Q teams of better levels that many times are out of CL places in their leagues, so actually the Cup is a trophy for low Q. teams of high levels than your.
